i guess everybody in ebay would try to avoid being cheated by scammers, both buyers and sellers.
i saw a good blog article on this topic.
you may have a glance on that.
hope you never run into a scammer again!

Posted 22nd September 2009 Item No. 320426841418 Hijacked Username Alias " Powerxsellx" -Item Hot Tub Whirlpool. This Serial Scammer has been taunting me for the last 12 months, he used Hijacked accounts and targets items such as Power Plates, Concept 2 Rowers,Thomas Cook Travel Vouchers, GPS Plotters. He always includes his email address saying " Contact me before bid" & "Contact me for more info and photos" Once he gets an enquiry he tricks the Innocent victim into paying into his Bogus Bank Account by Bank Transfer & when he has received enough enquiries he always ends his auction early to avoid negative feedback. Here are a few of his Hijacked alias Usernames 1) Mueemah 2) Rosesoan1 3) Apeoli 4) Bestxxsell 5)Ianb5545 6) pmc275 7) Powerxsellx Cheddah!!!!!!- Does anyone else have knowledge of his Many Scams on ebay ? He is alleged to be making over £20,000 a month & considers himself totally untouchable. We have managed to get some of his other Hijacked Alias accounts removed altogether, but he continues on a daily basis scamming Innocent ebay members of their hard earned cash. We have had considerable help from Tony who runs a very efficient ebay Fraudbusting Service & can be contacted on ="mailto:exposed.fraud.on.ebay@gmail.com">exposed.fraud.on.ebay@gmail.com
I would welcome any comments on this Post and any new ideas of how to deal with this low life character milking ebay for all he is worth.

Maybe I am not understanding this correctly but why would you pay into a bank account for an item you had yet to win anyway?

It is true that the Internet offers the potential for quicker development of your business, but still it will take time, quality tools, and of course the important one is education plus an effort of yours.Good luck



Yeah...This is a useful tip I found in this whole post. Very useful to me. Thanks for sharing with us.
